Remove-snapshot-$$variables...

Hello

My previous post was talking about 'Remove-Snapshot' and I got a response from it thx...

But I'm still stuck in a vSphere Scripting

Get-Snapshot - VM (VM-Get-name $y) - name $z |  Remove-Snapshot -I use $y and $z as parameters...

But the command above does not work... and the values of the parameters are very well...

But I get the error below

'2010-04-14 11:33:53 Get - VM VM with the name "linbgx143" not found, using the specified filters.

To: tank line: 27:30

+ Get-Snapshot - VM (Get - VM & lt; & lt; & lt; & lt;  (- Name $y)-name $z | Remove-Snapshot

Cannot bind the parameter "VM". Could not convert the "" value of type 'System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject' to type 'VMware.VimAutomation.Types.VirtualMachine '.

To: tank line: 27:22

+ Get-Snapshot - VM & lt; & lt; & lt; & lt;  (Get-VM-name $y) - name $z | Remove-Snapshot ".

-Deepak

It seems that the problem is that there is a space behind the names. Because you get the error "with the name"linbgx143"not found." Look at the difference between the output in the following code:

[vSphere PowerCLI] C:\users\robert> get-vm 'abcdefg '

  • remove the variable dynamically

    Is it possible to remove a variable in runstate?

    For example "Locals.ResultList [0]." TS. SequenceCall ".

    To remove a sequence resultfree of report

    In fact, I got a call from sequence that calls a suite, I disabled 'save results' of all the steps in this order. But I need to show a result for the 'Sequence Call' stage itself that is already treated with parameters. TestStand stores an empty 'ResultList' just for the subsequence, and it shows that a sequencecall has occurred. Its not very fency and I prefer not to show that the result of the stage of 'sequencecall '.

    Hope it's a little clear )

  • Is there an action or a script to remove the variables?

    I have about 500 files created from a source model and a variable (of 500 sets of data). Each of the 500 output files includes the library of variables. I want to separate the object and remove the variable in each of these output files. It will take hours to open each file and manually remove the variable, so I hope that it might be possible to automate this process with a script or a batch action. Unfortunately, however, I don't know enough script to create the script myself. Are there commands that can be combined in an action, or y at - it an existing, to achieve this script?

    Thank you very much.

    Maybe that someone else can promote the use of 'actions' for this?

    About scripting:

    Give a try on a "test copy" of one of your files and see if it's what you want.

    function removeDataSetsAndVariables() {
        if (app.documents.length > 0) {
            var doc = app.activeDocument;
            var dS = doc.dataSets.length;
            var v = doc.variables.length;
            var curV;
            if (v > 0) {
                for (var i = v - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                    curV = doc.variables[i];
                    curV.remove();
                }
            }
            if (dS > 0) {
                doc.dataSets.removeAll();
            }
        }
    }
    removeDataSetsAndVariables();
    

    In my quick test, the code snippet above will remove all the variables and data sets, is that what you need/want? If Yes, then we can proceed from there. Let us know.

  • Just to confirm, is Remove-Snapshot identical to erase everything in VCenter?

    Hello

    Not sure why they called these differently, but I just want to be sure that if I remove a snapshot is the same as in the GUI and choosing Delete all in Snapshots (merging with the VM) Manager. VMWare Update Manager did not remove snapshots by following the instructions. Now I have to delete them all.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello, bvi1006-

    Yes, you can use Remove-Snapshot to remove snapshots ("delete") of VM (s).  He takes a snapshot as a parameter object, so if you pass one of the snapshots of the virtual computer, this cmdlet will remove only the default.  You can also specify the parameter - RemoveChildren, if you also want to delete all children of the given snapshot.  Otherwise, just delete all snapshots for a specific virtual machine, you can use something like:

    Get-VM myVM0 | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot -RunAsync -Confirm:$false

    Hello

    My Jdev version 11.1.1.7.0.

    I'm Executive where clause programatically where I need to bind two bind parameters under certain conditions. Example, I have two bind variables X, Y.

    Here's the problem:

    Assume that the first time I'm setting one variable X, so I define X bind variable and execute the query.

    What second time I send only Y but not X. In this implementation of the scenario of VO throw an exception, given that the variable X is already created in the VO object and where clause does not have this setting.

    So how to remove variables created in the original Version all in definedNamedWhereClauseParam(). I need to erase what ever the previously created variable every time I execute method.

    I can make the similar functionlity using setWhereClauseParam (using literals). But I have a few technical restrictions for use.

    Could you please help me how to remove the variable before vo using definedNamedWhereClauseParam.

  • Remove unused variables

    I have renamed and renumbered variables in my project.  I would like to delete the variables used in the old numbering system.  I deleted all the advanced actions and shared the project actions that contain these variables.  However, when I click on an old variable, it is said: "Deleting variables used by advanced actions, joint actions and text objects is not allowed.  I'm not sure of what is a text object, but I think that I have only two text animations and that is all there is that contains the text.

    When I select an old variable and click on its use, a box that opens just said, Actions: "' and that's it.  What does that mean?

    Lieve noted that there is currently a bug in Captivate where the use of the Variable is not necessarily a reliable guide.  Sometimes if you remove a tip Action that uses a particular Variable, you will find that you cannot later remove the variable, although technically, it appears as if it is not used anywhere.  Captivate still seems to think that it is in use.  The best practice is to open first the tip Action and to remove all references to the Variables BEFORE you remove the action... but most people wouldn't think to do.  If you end up with variables non-cluttering up the project file and no way to get rid of them.

    My guess is that somewhere under the hood in the Captivate CPTX there is always a reference to the tip Action used to be associated with this Variable and Adobe programmers failed to remove these references as part of the function that removes the tip Action.

    Whatever it is, until they fix the problem, you will not have a way to get rid of these so-called variables.

  • Remove-snapshot - snapshot?

    Hi all

    I tried ' Remove-Snapshot - Snapshot test0 ' , but it does not work.

    where 'test0' is the name of a snapshot of a VM, but I tried

    Remove-Snapshot - VM (virtual machine Get - VM tbbui122) - he deletes all snapshots in this virtual machine, but I don't have that answer.

    Any idea?

    Can someone please tell...

    Dek

    If you want to delete a snapshot, then do it like this:

    Get-Snaphot -VM (Get-VM -Name "tbbui122") -Name "test0" | Remove-Snapshot

  • Problem with the cmdlet Remove-Snapshot

    Hello everyone,

    I have a problem with the cmdlet Remove-Snapshot: it fails to remove the snapshot when I made a copy of file (Copy-Item) between calls to New-Snapshot and Remove-Snapshot if (and only if) I put - confirm option to $false. If - confirm is $true everything works, but it does not allow me to run the non-interactive script. The error that is returned is "vim.fault.InvalidVmConfig".

    Anyone know if there is a problem on my side, on the side of ESX Server or a bug in the VI Toolkit? Any possible workaround?

    I have attached the PowerShell script, I used to reproduce the error and the script log file that contains the error message.

    The versions I used are:

    VMware.Vim.dll (1.5.0.1299, "VI API 1.5.0 build.Net 142961")

    VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 110271

    I'm not able to reproduce this on my environment but I am sure that the issue is not with the - confirm: $false parameter. After you copy the file there is a timeout that is set to 10 seconds. Can you increase it (even if I do not at all see a reason of this time-out) and see what happens?

  • Failed to remove snapshot due to disk space

    Hello!

    I tried to delete a snapshot in 10 workstation, but it failed because I ran out of space - fair enough, BUT he DID remove the snapshot icon.

    Now, I have freed disk space in order to remove the snapshot, but how can I do when the icon is missing?

    I can't just clone the virtual computer to a new place because I need other snapshots!

    I have about 20 shots then how do I know which one it is?

    Best regards

    -Morten Hermansen, Fanitas Green

    I found the same thing. It is not a good behavior of the software, because it leaves doubts: it is not deleted, but how can I remove it?

    I think that if it fails it should leave the icon to try again after you free the space.

    Is a possible workaround: create another snapshot, and then delete it somewhere inside the machine snapshot tree.

    For what I could see by looking at the disk space, after this deletion, the used space is lower than before the creation. I guess this operation triggers the actual deletion of the snapshot has disappeared. In addition, this deletion takes a long time, all in one

    'create and delete soon' should be very fast.

  • Failed to remove snapshot, impossible for the fret

    Hello

    I use VMware Fusion 4.1.3 with Windows 7 Setup. The original drive has a size of about 45 GB, the size on the disk of the complete virtual machine (of course especially the disk) is 124 GB.

    I had two snapshots. One of them I removed successfully (using the interface). Days later I wanted to remove it. He told me that I had to release about 20 additional GB of space first. After I closed the dialog box, the name of the snapshot has changed something technical, and after the restart of VMware, the snapshot was not visible in the list more.

    I created another cliché and tried to delete it. The same issue has occurred.

    Since then, my VM has grown at 124 GB, filling almost all the space left on my record of comments.

    I can't shrink the virtual machine using the VMware tools, given that this option is disabled.

    Is there something I can do? VMware starts when I free up additional space on the disc, which he claims so quickly. Without a method to recover the space, this virtual machine is a disposable solution

    Thank you

    If you don't want to fix here, that's fine, I understand.  If it is not obvious, the reason I (we) seek the support bundle is it gives us a picture pretty clearly and concisely what are the components without having to ask a lot of questions or give you specific instructions to collect the minimum amount of information for us to give you concise and accurate information based on the real facts.  If you want to remove the .tgz file in a password protected archive file zip and then private Message and it reach me the password I'll be more then happy to help you.  Otherwise, sorry, I don't have the time now to piece meal that.  I'm sure someone else will happen to your problem and will probably be more patience to deal with the lack of information and then I do.

    Otherwise, all I can say is that you need to free up an adequate amount of space on the host computer to solve the problem of the snapshot.  If you use monolithic discs vs split disks, then you need a fairly large amount (typically the size of the vHDD + a little extra) of free disk space otherwise that the operations are not successfully completed.  Split disks do not required as much free space (minimum 2 + GB) but don't try convent under the circumstances!   If any of the snapshots have been orphaned or the snapshot database is not accurate, then in some cases a way to fix the problem is to kill the snapshot database and then take a snapshot, and then delete it.  Obviously with the facts, I cannot make any specific recommendations and have just introduced what I illustrate why info is necessary.

    You might be able to find adequate information in the VMware KB to fix your problem, did you look here?

  • How can I remove snapshots when the data store is full?

    Hello

    With the help of ESXi 4.0.0 build 171294

    I have a virtual machine with a number of snapshots that became very large (rookie mistake I know). Finally, missed data store.

    Delete all the snapshots of the apparently successful Snapshot Manager but has not not any space free, and watching the VM directory via ssh show the delta files always there.

    I tried following the instructions in http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & externalId = 1007849

    but the I am always left with a complete and all data store the remaining delta files.

    I also tried renaming the file .vmsd and create another snapshot as suggest in this slideshow:

    http://communities.VMware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/978799-10548/200704231611490.TSX2007-Top_Support_Issues_-_part2.ppt

    After remove it all the snapshots returned instantly, of course, not doing any consolidation.

    1. Is there an any hope of consolidating these shots?
    2. If this is not possible, there is a way to roll back all the way to the original disk file?
    3. Update the firmware of ESXi at this stage would help?

    Thank you very much

    Alex

    According to the vmdk files, the virtual disk of 250 GB is thin provisioned. Please take a look in the browser of data store to see the current size of the virtual disk. Commit a snapshot to a thin provisioned disk can consume additional disk space (which you do not have).

  • How to remove snapshots are deleted?

    Hello

    I have a simple question? Once the connection in the client vSphere and deletion of snapshots via the Snapshot Manager, I see more the snapshot under servers. However, I still see taking them a space of data on the SAN, which is where I got them for.


    The question: How can I delete the snapshots to regain space on the SAN without the servers? I tried to move them before deleting in another folder first to find that the server would not load without them in the same folder as the files from the server, so I had to move their back on the server that I moved to the source so that it can start again. Snapshots are is more listed in the Snapshot Manager but are always on him WITHOUT taking much space I want to return to.

    I was told that vCenter would be able to delete all snapshots of without slot all servers, it's that good, I was told that there is a command option in vCenter which has delete all snapshots of all servers as a command is how delete all snapshots are more listed in the Manager of shapshot that are always in place of data in storage?

    Or y at - it another way to remove unnecessary snapshots of without any servers to start without the old clichés?

    Thank you

  • Failed to create/remove snapshots

    I can't create or delete snapshot files either using VCenter or the CLI.  I think that it's because there are too many files of snapshots (36), but none of them appear in the Snapshot Manager.  I know not if I can create one and then delete everything in the Snapshot Manager which should solve the problem, but when I go to create one I have error: "Create snapshot in VM VMNAME cannot complete the operation because the file or folder already exists."

    The list of the files of the virtual machine is attached.

    Any suggestions?

    Since you have enough free space on the disk cloning option should work perfectly for you. What I recommend you to do so is:

    • Power off / stop the virtual machine (do not hang it)
    • backup the vmx file (in case something goes wrong)
    • Open a command line and cd to the directory of the virtual machine
    • run: vmkfstools-i RTPRJN.vmdk RTPRJN1.vmdk
    • on the virtual parameters detachment RTPRJN.vmdk computer HARD drive (do not select "remove disc" if requested)
    • in the virtual machine settings set the new RTPRJN1.vmdk as the virtual disk
    • Turn on the virtual machine

    If everything works as expected, you can remove all of the old/obsolete vmdk files.

    If - at any time - you don't know, please stop and ask in return!
